6. Finally getting a couple of photos of two finished knits - my Kylbeg cowl and Once Upon a ... Cowl. I am planning on knitting up matching mitts with the leftovers of each, so will hold fire with the patterns for now.

7. Receiving a yarn colour card from Yarn Stories. The Once Upon a ... Cowl above is knit using three shades from their DK range and now my head is buzzing with other colour combinations!

8. A vase of local daffodils bringing their own little bit of sunshine to the kitchen!

A very similar bunch of daffs, lighting scented candles early evening, my marmalade making plans for the coming week. Also admiring your spatula and your lovely cowls. January's not so bad is it and we are halfway through.

About Me

I'm a teacher by day, but my spare time is filled with knitting, spinning, crochet and sewing. I live in rural Norfolk in a house well insulated with yarn and fibre, together with my darling yarn-loving cat, Florence! Following the sudden death of my lovely Mr JK in 2016, I am learning to live alone. I hope you enjoy reading about the goings on chez josiekitten!
